30 Best College Football Mascots of All-Time

5. Ohio State Buckeyes – Brutus Buckeye

Brutus Buckeye, an anthropomorphic nut, made his debut in 1965 for Ohio State at their homecoming game against Minnesota. It was at this time that the concept, specifically, his unique outfit and look, was solidified.

He’s so stylish that no matter who the Buckeyes face, he’s always going to stand out to distract the enemy. Whether it’s his good luck hat or the 00 on the back of his jersey, he’s ready for anything at any given moment. Best of all, he’s part of college football mascot history.

Brutus Buckeye was inducted into the mascot hall of fame in 2007 and has made many commercial appearances across the country. Ranging from ESPN, game shows, and even Home Depot, Brutus Buckeye has done and seen it all.
